Methodology: Statements of Working (Form 27) of Indian Mobile Device Patents: by Rohini Lakshané — published Sep 14, 2016 — last modified Sep 10, 2017 03:19 PM — filed under: Intellectual Property Rights, Patents, Access to Knowledge, Pervasive Technologies
In India, if a patent is not locally worked within three years of its issuance, any person may request a compulsory license, and if the patent is not adequately worked within two years of the grant of such a compulsory license, it may be revoked. In order to provide the public with information about patent working, India requires every patentee to file an annual statement on “Form 27” describing the working of each of its issued Indian patents. We conducted the first comprehensive and systematic study of all Forms 27 filed with respect to mobile devices. We tried to empirically establish the extent to which patentees and licensees comply with the statutory requirement to declare information about the working of their patents. Research assistance was provided by interns Anna Liz Thomas and Nayana Dasgupta.
